Buzzin’ Fly – Tim Buckley
The original version of this song is in DGCFAD tuning, so I’ve transposed it into standard tuning.
This is the way that I play the song (chords at the bottom).
For the original version, see: http://home.kpn.nl/adriemeijer/happy_sad/2_buzzin_fly.html
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Just like a buzzin' fly, I come into your life,
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Now I float away, like honey in the sun,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Was it right or wrong, I couldn't sing that song, anyway.
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Oh, but darlin' now I remember,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
How the sun shown down,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
And how it warmed your prayin' smile,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
When all the love was there.

You're the one I talk about,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You're the one I think about, everywhere I go,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
And sometimes honey, in the mornin',
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Lord, I miss you so.
C* B Bb Fmaj7 C C
That's how I know I found a home,

Oh, hear the mountains singing,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Lord, I can hear them ringing, darlin', out your name,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
And tell me if you know, just how the river flows,
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Down to the sea.

Everything about you,
C Fmaj7 C
Now I wanna know,

C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
A-walkin' hand in hand, and all along the sand,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
A seabird knew your name,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
He knew your love was growin', lord I think it knows it's flowin',
C Fmaj7 C
Thru you and me.
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Ah, tell me darlin',
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
When I should leave you,
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Ah, tell me darlin',
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
I don't want to grieve you.
